Testosterone Festival

It has been a regular testosterone festival around here this past week.My son, David II has been here this week and he and his daddy, David I, have been hunting and fishing or preparing to hunt and fish or talking about hunting and fishing or cooking the gains of hunting and fishing.

As of today, D II is under Federal orders and will be returning to Iraq sometime in May.So since this was D I’s week off (he will have to work the weekend) and D II had the week off, it was a good time for them to be together and do what they enjoy most.

Now I don’t understand the hunting and fishing…..well I understand the fishing—sort of…but not to the extent that they love to fish…but I do understand them wanting to be together and enjoy their time together before he goes to Iraq.

They were up at four thirty, home at noon for lunch and a nap and then back in the woods for the afternoon until dark.

Tuesday night they cooked the wild turkey that David killed.They fried some of it and D II cooked some of it in the oven with fresh mushrooms and onions and goodness knows what else.I ate one bite of the fried turkey and then ate a hot dog.I got a lot of grief for that, but I just don’t like any kind of any kind of wild game.

And you should have seen the kitchen when they got through, flour and grease…….what a mess, but D II cleaned it up. D I is not very good at cleaning up after himself and usually his wife Amanda is left to clean up the aftermath of his cooking.He imagines himself an Emeril Lagasse.

Anyway, this is a picture of David earlier while he was turkey hunting in the rain.

About Me

I blog therefore I am.
I am married to my exact opposite, but I love him with all my heart. We have been married 17 years. I got two children in the deal, who have given me a total of 7 grandchildren. I'm doing this thing backwards. I got the teenagers first, they grew up and married and then I got the babies. We have two puppy girls CiCi and GinGin. They are named after Elvis' women, Priscilla Presley and Ginger Alden. We have two new additions to our family, a baby chihuahua girl--Ann Margaret and a baby chihuahua boy--Fontana. DJ Fontana was Elvis' drummer and of course Ann-Margaret was long time friend of Elvis. They of course have nicknames--TanTan and BitBit...
